GaN Systems captures a place in the 2020 Global Cleantech 100

“We are honoured to be named in the 2020 Global Cleantech 100,” said GaN System CEO, Jim Witham. “It is yet another validation of our current position as the leader in GaN power semiconductors and as a company that continues to transform innovative energy efficient solutions.”

The list combines Cleantech Group’s research data with qualitative judgements from nominations and insight from a global 80-member expert panel of leading investors and executives from corporations and industrials active in technology and innovation scouting.

From pioneers and veterans to new entrants, the expert panel broadly represents the global cleantech community and results in a list with a powerful base of respect and support from many important players within the cleantech innovation ecosystem. The Global Cleantech 100 programme is sponsored by Chubb.

“It feels right that our first list of the future-defining 2020s, should see a continued strengthening in the representation of truly impactful and necessary innovations to transform our diets, to enable a more renewable-heavy energy system, and to capture and utilise the vast levels of CO₂ we have been freely emitting for decades,” said Richard Youngman, CEO, Cleantech Group.

“Also included in our 2020 list are some big and critical shots at solving global problems - from proving out fusion and next-gen batteries to zero carbon aviation.”
